Starbucks launches new orange‑mango drinks in Japan and orange‑cream drinks in the US

Starbucks Japan introduced three limited‑edition summer beverages featuring orange and mango: the Gyugyutto Orange & Mango Frappuccino, Chillax Soda Orange & Mango, and Craft Juicy Orange & Mango Tea. The drinks, priced from ¥579 to ¥720, are available at all Japanese stores from 22 July for a short period.

In the United States, Starbucks announced an orange‑cream drink lineup slated for a 28 July launch, including an orange‑cream cold brew, iced orange‑cream latte, iced orange‑cream chai, iced orange‑cream matcha, and orange‑cream Frappuccino. Employees on Reddit described the drinks as overly strong, chemical‑tasting, and “absolutely atrocious,” particularly criticizing the orange latte for a burnt‑plastic aroma.

Both releases are part of Starbucks’ seasonal summer menu rollout, but the Japanese offerings focus on fruit‑based beverages while the U.S. line blends orange flavor with coffee.
